THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN T'VEFINITE and distinct indications that Paul V. McNutt, dean of the Indiana law school, is more than holding his own in the fight for the Democratic nomination for Governor next spring were indicated clearly in the last week. Following a tumultuous triumph at the Seventh district rally at Franklin Monday, he invaded enemy territory to try his skill there. Close attention was paid his visit to South Bend Thursday, where he addressed the Kosciusko Civic club. Despite that this is the home and headquarters of Rudolph Ackerman and Chester Montgomery, who are leading the fight to make the home town boy, Frank Mayr. Jr., Governor, or unhorse R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman. McNutt got a fine reception and strengthened himself considerably. Opposition leaders are plainly worried. tt a o Those in the group who feel that Frank Dailey, Indianapolis attorney and 1928 nominee, could stop the McNutt march plainly are irked at the lackadaisical course of their favorite. Instead of making an effort to line up delegates for the convention and rebuild his broken fences, Dailey is content to sit in his office and grant audiences to those who really would like to "go for him.” In fact, so irate are his would-be supporters that talk has been started concerning the availability of the big mystery man of politics, John Fredrick, Kokomo manufacturer. who was a candidate for the

Thomas Mull, former president of the defunct Manilla bank, facing three charges of embezzling its funds, is also defendant in a civil i suit in which $17,500 is sought. The American Surety Company of New York is a co-defendant. The suit was filed in Rush circuit court here by Clyde Whisman and David E. ; Carmony, receivers for the bank. The suit seeks to recover on a bend given by Mull with the New York company as surety. The pre- | mium on the bond was paid by the bank over a period of years, it is alleged. During the year from Nov. 30, 1929, to Nov. 30, 1930, the suit alleges Mull embezzled approximately $13,000 of the bank’s funds with worthless checks, and lists fortyseven of the alleged illegal checks for amounts from $5.27 to $8,734.53.

nomination for Governor in 1928 and ran second to Dailey in the primary. Alliance with Fredrick would be the natural thing for the South 1 Bend group, because they supported him against Dailey in that campaign. He has been mentioned for everything from senator to state chairman. but has so far managed to keep his own council. a a a Although there is heard a slight sniff among the opponents of Peters when Fredrick's name is mentioned, because they feel that he deserted their standard a year ago, when an effort was made to supplant Peters with Lee Bays, they perforce will take even the'manufacturer to keep from having McNutt forced upon them. In fact, there is some indication that the real play at present is to get Dailey out against the law schoo} head and, with the aid of one Or two other favorite son candidates. deadlock the convention. When such a situation occurs, the name of Fredrick will be dumped in. It is a good plan —but like so many other cleverly planned stratagems may be doomed to failure, because McNutt is working while the opposition is planning. And when his work is completed, there may be no probability of anything approaching a deadlock. Meanwhile, Dailey is sitting tight, waiting for the nomination to be brought to him on a silver platter —and the salver must be silver—at least that is his attitude, is the 1 contention. *

HOOVER REGIME TO BE WATSON STAKE

Senator Indicates Re-Elec-tion to Be Sought on Record of Administration. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 17.—Internationalism, the dole, bankers of European nations, European statesmen on “friendship” missions. Communism, socialism, Woodrow Wilson and the farm board all fell under the sweeping condemnation of Senator James E. Watson, in the opening Republican rally of the campaign in northern Indiana Friday night. The veteran Hoosier statesman and administration leader in the upper house, addressed about 750 members of his party following a dinner at the Oliver hotel. Lauds Hoover Herepeated his assertion that he had no ambitions for the vice-presi-dency, but evidenced his willingness to stand or fall in the next election on the accomplishments of the Hoover administration. Hoover he eulogized for “wisdom, genius and statesmanship,” which averted riots, strikes and panics in the United States, while the rest of the world “was aflame with revolution, chaos and trembling governments.” Senator Arthur R. Robinson and former Representative Andrew J. Hickey of Laporte also appeared on the program. The speech of Watson was the most spectacular part of a four-day stand of the senator in South Bend. The Third district has always been more or less a thorn in the side of the Republican party, but the real extent of the defection was brought home strongly last fall when Samuel B. Pettengil , a Democrat and a wet, defeated Hickey, who had served twelve years in the lower house. Discusses League Action Watson, after a telephone conversatin with Washington, announced that participation of the United States in the League of Nations discussion of the Manchurian crisis would not entangle this' country in other league affairs. Watson believed that an assurance to this effect would be issued soon from Geneva. Watson said he was not opposed to American participation in the SinoJapanese controversy, but believed that the issue should have been settled by signers of the Kellogg peace pact. These nations shou and send a protest to Japan, asking her to avoid a break with China, Watson said. FATHER ACCUSES SON Fraud Alleged at Anderson in Note Transaction.

HAMMDND BANK TRIALS MOVED TO RENSSELAER Newspapers Declared to Have Created Prejudice in Lake County. By Times Special CROWN POINT. Ind., Oct. 17 A change of venue from Lake Criminal court to Jasper circuit court at Rensselaer, has been granted by Judge Martin J. Smith in cases of five indicted officials of the closed First Trust and Savings bank of Richmond. The judge said he granted the change due to what he termed prejudicial stories concerning the bank published in newspapers. Defense counsel sought to have the cases sent to the Newton circuit court at Kentjand, pointing out that prejudice might exist against their clients at Rensselaer, due to a bank failure there. An exception was noted when Judge Smith refused to send the case to Newton county. The attorneys produced photostatic copies of articles which appeared in Lake county newspapers, asserting prejudice had been created. In this John Underwood, chief deputy prosecutor, agreed. Judge Smith took notice of the situation, remarking that eighteen banks have failed in Lake county. Porter county was not mentioned in discussion as to where the trial would be held. Lake county officials recently declared no more case* would be sent there. It is believed their attitude is a result of the outcome of the Virgil Kirkland murder trial.
